Description
I was reading the manual page of the bc calculator. I found a typo. The c is missing in function so it says funtion.

Although I'm pointing out a flaw in the manual page, I want to mention that bc is probably my favorite calculator because it supports decimal point numbers but doesn't use floating point. I actually made some of my bash scripts using bc for math since bash only has built in integer arithmetic.

In perl it uses floating point which has rounding errors but is accurate enough for the task most of the time.
